Yes, interior is not in great shape.  The outside has some rust, too.  It needs a full restoration. 

Here it is back in its hay day.  Father in law driving.

These are the only ones have on me right now.  I have others on some other devices. 

I will get an inspection done, but we know the history of the car.  My wife's father bought the car new on January 21, 1967.  We have the original bill of sale from the dealership with her father's signature and the amount paid.  There is no doubt what the vehicle is and where it has been.   I understand inspections will have to be made due to fakes out there, but this has been a one owner vehicle until his passing.  The only thing in question is the engine.  By the looks of it it looks like the original, but it did have a front end collision back in the early 1970's.  It was repaired, but am currently unable to find the number on the block to determine if the original engine was removed.  The remainder of the vehicle is original, albeit not in great shape, but original. 

Thanks for the information.  I'll post an update on the findings here soon!  This car is located in Texas. 

I am throwing this out to all the 66 Shelby experts.  I am trying to determine the authenticity of the 1966 Shelby GT350 that my wife and I inherited.  Her father was the original buyer and owner of the vehicle until his death 8 years ago.  It is not in the best of shape, but we were just able to locate the Ford VIN number along with the Shelby number.   I do not have the means or ability to restore it, but many people do.  In order to attempt to sell the vehicle I would like to authenticate what we have.  Up until now no one knew this car even existed anymore because it has not been driven since the 1970's.  Finding anything on it has been close to impossible.  If anyone knows who I need to contact please let me know.
